Desmond Tutu Quotes - Page 5

• A menudo no quiero hablar. Intento ser una persona razonable y diplomática, pero vas a ese lugar y ves los asentamientos, ves lo que ha ocurrido con la tierra que era propiedad de los palestinos. A menudo he dicho a mis amigos judíos: "Por favor, recordad de dónde venís. Recordad a Yahvé, que dijo a los israelitas: 'Tratad bien al extranjero con justicia'".

• There would be no call for ecological campaigning had nature not been exploited and abused. We experience the ground now bringing forth thistles as soil erosion devastates formerly arable land and deserts overtake fertile farms. Rivers and the atmosphere are polluted thoughtlessly and we are fearful of the consequences of a depleted ozone layer and the devastation of the greenhouse effect. We are not quite at home in our world, and somewhere in each of us there is a nostalgia for a paradise that has been lost.

• Debemos abrazar nuestras diferencias, incluso celebrar nuestra diversidad. Debemos gloriarnos en el hecho de que Dios nos creó a cada uno de nosotros como seres humanos únicos. Dios nos creó diferentes, pero no nos creó para separarnos. Dios nos creó diferentes para que pudiéramos reconocer nuestra necesidad mutua. Debemos reverenciar nuestra singularidad, reverenciar todo lo que nos hace ser lo que somos: nuestra lengua, nuestra cultura, nuestra tradición religiosa.

• I have seen firsthand how injustice gets overlooked when the victims are powerless or vulnerable, when they have no one to speak up for them and no means of representing themselves to a higher authority. Animals are in precisely that position. Unless we are mindful of their interests and speak out loudly on their behalf, abuse and cruelty go unchallenged.
